Soul Cairn

Soul Cairn exists within a realm of Oblivion, where the undead and trapped Souls reside. The realm is lorded by mystical beings called Ideal Masters. No one who has ever come into contact with Ideal Masters in Soul Cairn has been able to return to Tamriel to tell the tale.

This daedric realm cannot be reached by normal means. Once the connection to this plane is established, the other requirement for entry is to be a trapped soul or a Vampire Lord.

Much of the realm is dominated by expansive open space with a spattering of ruined structures and burial grounds. Inside the Soul Cairn, you can find Soul Fissures that allow you to harvest souls and place them in gems, much like using the Soul Trap spell.

If you remain for too long in Soul Cairn, you will begin to experience a deleterious effect that slowly drains your health. Soul Husks, found around Soul Cairn or among the spoils from slain enemies, can help reverse this effect.
